Anomaly
- Anomaly is an Autobot from the Transformers Universe portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Anomaly by name and nature, the young and feisty Autobot is a strange mix of both scientist and soldier; to his allies, he’s a benefactor who can remove even the most virulent effects from enemy weapons… But to any enemies on the battlefield, he is walking fallout, leaving anyone who crosses him infected and quarantined. And as he is always spoiling for a good fight, you’ll always find someone on the battlefield affected by his gifts, in one way or another.[1]

Class: Hybrid Difficulty: Medium Description: As a soldier-hybrid Anomaly is effective at both attacking and reparing. His attacks center on debuffing his enemies with system interference and toxic viruses. But he can also clean up these effects from his allies keeping his team fighting fit. Alterantive mode: Hazardous materials response vehicle Alternative mode description: Anomaly was relieved to find that humanity also had a toxic waste problem - it meant he had a ready-made disguise in the form of a hazardous materials response vehicle. Perhaps it wasn't wise to equip it with a grenade launcher, although Anomaly isn't known for following the rule book. Offensive: 5/10 Defensive: 5/10 Utility: 4/10 Playstyle:
- Effective at repairing allies and attacking enemies
- Debuffs enemies with viruses and system interference
- Leaps quickly at targets ensuring they can't get away

At level 1 it has a 50% miss chance if the target is in vehicle mode [Utility][Interference] Tip:Use Nuclear Attraction to finish off a weakened enemy attempting to escape.

In-game description: Connects to the hit target and redirects damage to them at 40% redirection [Interference] Tip: In a closely-fought duel, activate Web-Route to cause Anomaly's attacker to damage themselves instead.
Third Weapon: Positron Shotgun [ BUFF-REPAIR COMBINATION ] Description: A short-range ammo weapon which repairs allies. It auto-reloads when ammo is depleted. Stats: Range: 2/8 Shield repairs: 3/8 Spark repairs: 3/8 S-tech: Particle Exchanger (Offensive) Website description: The Particle Exchanger S-tech triggers an instant swap of positrons between Anomaly and his allies for mutual benefit, each ally gaining increased damage-dealing, and Anomaly gaining increased damage-dealing for each ally affected.
